Hello again, MA! My first batch was 32 oz brewed for one hour. I made a batch today- 32 oz brewed for 2 hours with no heat. During that period I had to clean the rods three times because of the *fuzz*. Is this a normal thing? My end result is quite clear. I hope to find a laser pen tomorrow,

Hi Raine, Yes that is normal. I clean my rods more often than that. they bulid up fuzz faster as the concentration goes up. Agter several hours you cant clean them fast enough nad then I stop the precess, it makse me very strang CS that is totally clear. and lasts a long time in the cupboard,

Hi Raine, Well I havent timed it much, but I image somewhere between 2 to 4 hours sometimes longer. I just go by how often I have to clean and occasionally I check it with the TDS meter. Each batch varies with time and strength Take care, V Thank so much, V. It's good to know that

.5 to 5 millimaps? It all depends on how much electrode you use and how far apart they are. The idea is to not exceed about 1 millimap per square inch of electrode. With constant stirring, you can go up to around 2 mA per and still get good results. I've never done this, but as per

The key to thermal stirring is to balance heat shed from the container sides with heat soak from the thermal source. The water should not get 'hot'. It's temperature 'differential' that does the stirring. . Preheating the water on very small batches both speeds up the process at the

Another idea not as good, but helpful: I just used some alligator clips with wires to hook in a cheapo digital multimeter, and keep it turned on to the current draw setting. I monitored current level to adjust the electrode spacing during the brewing to keep the current low. And it also gave

Taking into consideration the feedback I'd received on my first batch, tonight I brewed 8 oz for one hour using thermal stirring. About 25-30 min in I had heavy bearding and had to clean the rods, though the mixture was still crystal clear. After that, I walked away from it for the remainder
